Alright, alright, let’s talk about this… what’s his name? Ter-kway-vee-on? Yeah, Terquavion Smith. Sounds like a fancy name for a young fella, don’t it? Folks keep jabberin’ ‘bout him, so I figured I’d put in my two cents, even though I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout basketball. Don’t you be expectin’ no fancy words from me, I just say what I see, ya hear?
Who is this Terquavion Smith fella anyway? Well, from what I gather, he’s a basketball player. Plays for some team… Philadelphia something or other. Sixers, they call ‘em. He’s supposed to be good, real good at puttin’ that ball in the hoop. Folks say he scores a whole heap of points. More than most other fellas on his team, that’s for sure. Someone told me he’s like, twice as good as the next fella on his team. That’s a lotta points, I reckon. I ain’t never seen nothin’ like that, not even when those city boys came down to the county fair and played that fancy ball game.
Now, I heard tell he used to play for NC State. That’s a college, ain’t it? Must be a smart boy, too. Or maybe he’s just good at throwin’ that ball around. I don’t know much ‘bout colleges or city schools, but they say he was a real “bucket-getter” there too. Means he scored a lot, I guess. Seems like scorin’ is his thing. He must be real tall, too, to get that ball in that high hoop. They say he’s a guard. Guess that means he guards the other fellas from scorin’ and he scores a lot himself. Sounds like a busy job to me.
- He Scores a Lot of Points
- He used to play for NC State
- He is now playing for the Philadelphia 76ers
- They say he is real tall
I tried lookin’ up some stuff about him, you know, on that inter-web thingy my grandson showed me. Confusin’ as all get out, but I managed to find some numbers. They call ‘em “stats.” Seems like they keep track of everythin’ these young fellas do on the court. They got numbers for how many points he scores, how many times he helps his teammates score (“assists” they call ‘em), and even how old he is and how much he weighs. I ain’t got no idea what it all means, but them numbers are big, real big. Especially the scorin’ ones. That’s gotta be good, right?
They even talk about his “draft status.” Sounds like they pick these young fellas like they’re prize-winning hogs at the county fair. I reckon it means some fancy team picked him to play for them. And that Philadelphia team, the Sixers, they got him. Musta seen somethin’ special in him. I ain’t sure what makes a good basketball player, but if he’s scorin’ all them points, he must be doin’ somethin’ right.
Folks are always arguin’ ‘bout who’s the best player and all that. I don’t pay much mind to it. Seems like every year there’s a new hotshot youngster comin’ along, makin’ all the old fellas look slow. But this Terquavion fella, he seems to be makin’ a name for himself. He’s putting up big numbers, and that’s what folks care about, I guess. They say he’s a guard, and that he can shoot the ball real good. I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout shootin’ a basketball, but I reckon it’s like shootin’ a squirrel out of a tree – gotta be quick and accurate.
Now, some folks say he’s still gotta prove himself. Says he’s young and needs more experience. Well, I reckon they’re right ‘bout that. Life’s all ‘bout learnin’, ain’t it? Even an old hen like me is still learnin’ new things every day. But from what I hear, this Terquavion fella is workin’ hard and gettin’ better all the time. He’s got that fire in his belly, they say. That’s what you need to succeed, whether you’re plantin’ crops or throwin’ a ball around.
So, what’s the bottom line on Terquavion Smith? Well, I reckon he’s a talented young fella who can score a whole heap of points. He’s got folks talkin’, and that’s gotta count for somethin’. He’s playin’ for a fancy team in a big city, and he’s makin’ a name for himself. Whether he becomes a superstar or just another good player, well, only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure, this Terquavion Smith fella is worth keepin’ an eye on. And that’s all I gotta say ‘bout that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got chores to do.
